So it we were warned over and over it wouldn't die down during the summer like the flu, it didn't. No one was really expecting it, hoping, but not expecting. So now it is credible to say it will significantly ramp up during the flu season?
Will the BIG10 Reverse Their Decision?

For all we know it may have 'died down' in the summer as in it didn't get as bad compared to if more people were inside these last 3 months.
Considering the science that indoors is higher risk, you'd think a spike is in the near future.
We'll find out.
Haha, lol. Rutgers is somehow deciding that Iowa and THE Ohio State aren't going to play football.
True, my theory on why the warm states became hot spots is because the heat is bad enough that everyone spent most their time inside in the air conditioning. That risk flips back to northern states as it cools. I think enough people have been exposed that a widespread spike is not as likely except in places that have still managed low cases. Rural and isolated states. It is really amazing how many counties in NY have not really had many cases.
Rutgers was such a great add to the Big Ten lolHaha, lol. Rutgers is somehow deciding that Iowa and THE Ohio State aren't going to play football.
Maryland tooHaha, lol. Rutgers is somehow deciding that Iowa and THE Ohio State aren't going to play football.
This is interesting: https://www.outkick.com/the-state-of-nebraska-just-declared-war-on-the-big-ten/. Is it setting a precedent for Nebraska doing what it wants?
I like to joke that they don't know that it's not 1995 but now I think they REALLY don't know that it's not 1995.
Sounds like Rutgers president is swayed by politics. Will he also then oppose basketball for political reasons? This may be the B1G gift that lasts into 2021. Depends on November 3, of course.
Conference members may be hearing new medical updates over the weekend, with the possibility of a vote on Sunday regarding whether or not to start play in October. Need 9 to move forward with fall football. Currently sits at 7-7, but rapid antigen testing could sway a couple of votes.
For as bad as people think Iowa is right now, there are 6 B1G states with a worse Rt right now.
doesn't everyone know that the election virus will disappear on Nov. 4? It will be too late to start football by then though.
Yup. It's a beautiful thing. 7.5 weeks and it'll all be over! Here's to hoping the B1ech continues to infight and self destruct.
I hear people say this and I’m going to assume you are joking. Do they really think the WHOLE WORLD put this on for an American election? Really???
Just checking to see what time Iowa kicks off.......
I haven't read the entire thread so I don't know what all was discussed. A member of the Iowa athletic department was at the local car dealership this week when I was there. He and the owner were talking about the Big starting games after Thanksgiving in domes. We will see.
Hearing Iowa is all in for the modified six game division schedule followed by the BIG championship game. Playing...Yup. It's a beautiful thing. 7.5 weeks and it'll all be over! Here's to hoping the B1ech continues to infight and self destruct.
